Clifford fights so hard for people because he truly cares.

I hired Clifford and his partners at Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates in 2007. Since then he has worked so hard on my case that I knew that I was going to have the best representation. Clifford helped me understand what was going on every step of the way. When it came time for trial, I watched and listened to how much detail and passion he had for my case. I was very impressed and even though it was a very serious case, it was fun to watch him work. I can't thank him enough for what he did for my family and I. I look forward to having Clifford as a friend when this is all finished. Thank you Clifford.

Cliff has also handled pro-bono cases, cut fees when it was fair to do so, and kept the client’s interests first.

A graduate of New Trier High School, the University of Florida, and Loyola University School of Law, Cliff was born and currently lives in Chicago, where the two most important things in his life are his family and representing the injured.
